Matilda’s father – the actor Izko Finzi – retells Shakespeare’s plays "Hamlet", "The Tempest", "King Lear", and "Macbeth", as well as Chekhov’s "The Cherry Orchard". He is preparing them for publication in a book. While listening to the texts, which Itzko read aloud and revised again and again, Matilda began drawing the characters from the stories. Some of these spontaneously made drawings later became the illustrations for the book "Five Plays Told by an Actor". The book premiered on June 1, 2024, at the "Sfumato" Theatre in Sofia. At that time, Matilda is 6 years old.

"In this book, there are stories about the Honk. They have noses that look like vacuum cleaners. When the vacuum cleaner makes noise, it sounds like this: Hhhhhhhooooonnnnnk. That’s why these little characters are called Honk" says Matilda.

​

The book contains 96 illustrations for 9 stories about the Honk.
